It is definitely the life-action role playing definition. As in you’re LARPing a successful company with high cash flow. I know it has nothing to do with actual role playing, it’s just the popular way of calling someone a poser on the internet at the moment.

Doesn't matter who you ask on this site. The incel, the rad fem, the regular liberal, the happily married person, the casanova; they will all tell you some variety to stay in your own lane and shut up. They will all use different language, but the meanings will always be the same: they live a life of constant loneliness and have found kinship with others who agree that to ever do something to counter that loneliness is beyond abhorrent behaviour.
Persona 3
I've been playing Persona 3:Reload recently and little things like the pause menu [1] and the overall visual presentation clearly have so much deliberation and thought put into them that they feel like interactive art pieces rather than menus. This pretty much extends to every recent Atlus game [2].

I had a similar experience when I was looking for YouTube videos on the Intel i7-4790T, it's a relatively obscure CPU that was only found on small-form factor pre-builds during the Haswell era. The only recent videos I found were slop videos [1] narrating a script clearly generated by an LLM, with a link to their Amazon affiliate in the description. The CPU has never been put on retail sale! These channels upload a dozen times a day on random products just to get an affiliate commission.

It's only supported on EE/BT at the moment.
One day we’ll see a an Osamason or Xaviersobased post on HN
If it were up to TikTok and Meta, our feeds would be exclusively robot-made. Humans are a variable they cannot control, and I think they despise us for it.
OpenAI’s Sora mobile app is the experiment to see if human beings will tolerate total AI content consumption. We’ll see how that will go.
I'm pretty sure this is in response to the flood of Sora anime parodies that have flooded TikTok in the past 48 hours. Seems like OpenAI is acknowledging some strongly worded letters from anime rights holders rather than individual artists, or the response wouldn't be this swift.
Is this only on iVerify EDR? I can’t seem to find it on the up-to-date basic version.
Grok 3 is on Azure AI Foundary [0] and announced an integration with Telegram, albeit they are paying Telegram $300m not vice versa [1]. But I agree, choosing Grok is just a huge reputational liability for anyone’s work that is serious.

If you use an Arm mac, the mainline release is still using Rosetta. You can switch to the beta release which improves battery life and performance.
Withholding security updates unless the user gives up their PC's data to Microsoft's cloud, use Bing search to accumulate 1000pts or pay $30 is comically petty, even by Microsoft standards.

"Economically the savings for the use of open source ad blockers are potentially easier to understand. For example, in the United States, if all Internet users enabled Privacy Badger on their computers, they would expect to save more than 91 million dollars annually. Globally, if all Internet users used uBlock Origin, they would collectively save more than 1.8 billion U.S. dollars a year."

For mobile, “Control Panel for Twitter” has a paid safari extension for iOS or a free user script version for any browser that supports a user script manager. Unfortunately solutions like these only work on the web app, rather than the native app.
At the end of each spam message there is a unique 15 character string. Anyone know what purpose the string is supposed to serve?
There is a segment in a recent Linus Tech Tips video [1] that showcased media asset management software [2] where you can search for portions of locally stored videos via natural language. e.g. Person X holding object Y, working on task Z. If this type of AI video tagging comes to mobile I think it will be a game changer.

There's an interesting phenomenon, where certain keywords in your post will trigger bot rings to advertise their services. Keywords such as: "Crypto", "Metamask", "Hacked", "IPTV".
Snapchat notifications don't have the actual message content, the notification would have been '$Name sent you a chat'.
Linus Tech Tips covered a Chinese smart TV [1] that had a preloaded car commercial when you boot it up. The TV was not even connected to the internet, the video file was preloaded from the factory.
It's ok. Here are some of my thoughts:
- The lack of a web interface to browse Threads is frustrating, you can only view a specific thread someone has shared a link to before it forces you to download the app. - No following feed, so I've had to mute dozens of media/political/brand accounts that appear on the homepage. - No chronological feed is annoying. - You also can't search for keywords/hashtags. I primarily use twitter to receive real time commentary on events, so this is the biggest downside in my opinion.
Overall, Threads feels like a beta product that was rushed to release to take advantage of the rate limits implemented on Twitter. We'll see in a few months if Meta can follow through in building an app with the feature parity of Twitter.
I've came across Haskell in my computer science class at High school/Sixth Form. It's in the AQA Computer Science specification [1] and you are expected to know the basic concepts of functional programming as well as interpret code in the written exam.

I've found that the instance hosted by privacytools.io is significantly faster than the official instance.
$1.80 doesn't sound like a lot in the US, but I'm sure the government would want to spend the savings on teacher salaries and equipment rather than on trivial Windows licenses - especially in developing countries where every dollar counts.
I remember that the Kerala government (southern state in India) deployed an ubuntu-based operating system on 200,000 laptops in government-funded schools in 2021. Turns out they saved an estimated $360,000 compared to Windows/ChromeOS offerings.
